Lonely
Chloe and Halle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I know sometimes you feel alone
I know some nights you wait by your phone
I know you wish you had somebody to hold
It don't have to be lonely being alone

Who are you when no one's watching?
You close the door to your apartment
Are you afraid of the silence?
Are you afraid of what you'll find in it?

Three in the morning, stay up
Feels like the world won't wait up
All in your mind it's made up

I know sometimes you feel alone
I know some nights you wait by your phone
I know you wish you had somebody to hold
It don't have to be lonely being alone

I remember just the other day
Brought all my problems, had myself to blame
There my friends go, there my love go
I'm just sitting here, yeah feeling solo
It's not like money gonna save me
Or popping bottles on the daily
I had to learn to love me lately (lately), ay

I know sometimes you feel alone
I know some nights you wait by your phone
I know you wish you had somebody to hold
It don't have to be lonely being alone

Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
It don't have to be lonely being alone

I know sometimes you feel alone
I know some nights you wait by your phone
I know you wish you had somebody to hold
It don't have to be lonely being alone

Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
It don't have to be lonely being alone

Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh




Ahh, ahh, ahh
It don't have to be lonely being alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chloe and Halle's song "Lonely" delve into the feelings of solitude and longing for companionship that many people experience at some point in their lives. The opening lines acknowledge the listener's sense of loneliness and the desire for connection. The artists reassure that even though one may feel alone, it is possible to find solace and strength in solitude.


The next verse poses introspective questions about one's identity and fears when they are alone. It questions whether the individual is comfortable with their own company or if they struggle with the silence and unknown aspects of themselves. This part of the song invites reflection on self-awareness and acceptance during moments of isolation.


The lyrics then shift to a scene at three in the morning, mirroring moments of restlessness and contemplation. The reference to the world not waiting up suggests a feeling of urgency or anxiety that can accompany late-night thoughts. The idea that everything is a product of the mind being made up alludes to the power of perception and mindset in navigating feelings of loneliness and uncertainty.


As the song progresses, it touches on personal experiences of dealing with inner struggles and relying on oneself for support. The lyrics mention facing problems and taking responsibility for them, as well as coming to terms with solitude and self-discovery. The mention of learning to love oneself reflects a journey of growth and acceptance that is essential for overcoming feelings of loneliness.


Overall, the repeated chorus emphasizes the message that while loneliness is a common human experience, it does not have to be debilitating. The song advocates for finding strength within oneself, embracing solitude as an opportunity for self-reflection and growth. Through its introspective lyrics and soothing melody, "Lonely" offers reassurance and empowerment to those who may be grappling with feelings of isolation and longing for connection.

I know sometimes, you feel alone
I know some nights, you wait by your phone
I know you wish you had somebody to hold
It don't have to be lonely being alone

[Verse 1]
Who are you when no one's watching'?
You close the door to your apartment
Are you afraid of the silence?
Are you afraid of what you'll find in it?
Three in the morning, stayed up
Feels like the world don't fade up
Oh, in your mind, it's made up

[Chorus]
I know sometimes, you feel alone
I know some nights, you wait by your phone
I know you wish you had somebody to hold
It don't have to be lonely being alone

[Verse 2]
I remember, just the other day
'Bout all my problems, had myself to blame
Then the friends call, then I let go
I'm just sittin' here, yeah, feelin' so low (Woah)
It's not like money gonna save me (Oh-oh, oh)
Or poppin' bottles on the daily (Oh-oh, oh)
I had to learn to love me lately (Lately)
Hey
